tweaking random number

Wed May 9 03:01:49 EDT 2012

Hi All
I want to generate a random number of 8 digits which involve 3 number and 5
digits.
Like this :-
def random_number():
 # do something
random_number()
"123abcde" # first 3 numbers and 5 letters after the numbers.
I am able to generate the random number 8 digit like this:-
def random_number():
 characters = list(string.ascii_lowercase + string.ascii_uppercase\
 + string.digits)
 coll_rand = []
 for i in range(8):
 random.shuffle(characters)
 coll_rand.append(characters[0])
 return ''.join(coll_rand)
This generates like this "Kkrgt56r"
Thanks in advance
